The Symposium on Racing presents a variety of cutting-edge topics and an exhibit hall that are of interest to a diverse group of attendees representing all facets of the racing/gaming industry. The Symposium is the largest multi-breed racing conference in the world with 1,000 attendees and representatives from more than 15 countries.

Racing and wagering topics include the threats and opportunities of betting exchanges, the impact of rebates, changes in international racing and gaming markets, regulatory issues for expert witnesses in contested cases, and new technology opportunities.

The marketing panels will help provide insight into what we can learn from the rapid growth in poker tournaments and their popularity on television, examine the potential of ethnic marketing, evaluate the return on investment from player tracking systems, and review sponsorship/advertising and the conflicts that arise when stakeholders have competing interests.

Also presented at the Symposium will be issues vital to the breeding and bloodstock industry, including a debate on ethical practices at public auctions and the commercial bloodstock market.
